Risk factors and legal proceedings

The risks Starco Brands, Inc. names in Item 1A of its 10-K filed Apr 14, 2026: 27 risks under these headings, as written.3

  • Risks Related to Our Company and its Business
  • We are reliant on related parties for some of our revenues, manufacturing certain of our products, and much of our administrative activities.
  • We are highly dependent on the services of Ross Sklar, our Chief Executive Officer.
  • In certain voting situations, Ross Sklar has the ability to direct votes of certain shares which he does not own. As a result, Mr. Sklar has the ability to prevent or influence certain actions by us.
  • We rely on related parties and our business could be adversely affected if relationships with such related parties change, are terminated, or are not renewed.
  • We have incurred significant net losses and have only occasionally generated profits. We cannot assure you that we will continue to achieve profitable operations.
  • An impairment in the carrying value of goodwill, trade names and other long-lived assets could negatively affect our consolidated results of operations and net worth.
  • If we do not obtain adequate capital funding or improve our financial performance, we may not be able to continue as a going concern.
  • Our success depends on our ability to uphold the reputation of our brands and our clients’ brands, which will depend on the effectiveness of our marketing, our product quality, and our client experience.
  • If we are unable to anticipate consumer preferences and successfully develop and introduce new, innovative and updated products, we may not be able to maintain or increase our sales or achieve profitability.
  • An economic downturn or economic uncertainty in the United States may adversely affect consumer discretionary spending and demand for our products.
  • We are subject to risks from changes to the trade policies, including tariff and import/export regulations by the U.S. and/or other foreign governments.
The other 16 risks
  • Fluctuations in prices of raw materials and other inputs may adversely impact our results.
  • Our results of operations could be materially harmed if we are unable to accurately forecast demand for our products.
  • We operate in a highly competitive market and the size and resources of some of our competitors may allow them to compete more effectively than we can, resulting in a loss of our market share and a decrease in our net revenue.
  • We rely on a licensing agreement with Temperance Distilling Company.
  • Certain of our products rely on a single manufacturer.
  • Our sales and gross margins may decline as a result of increasing product costs and may not keep up with inflation.
  • Our margins may decline as a result of increasing freight costs.
  • If we fail to adequately protect our intellectual property rights, competitors may manufacture and market similar products, which could adversely affect our market share and results of operations.
  • We may be subject to liability if we infringe upon the intellectual property rights of third parties.
  • Our business involves the potential for product liability and other claims against us, which could affect our results of operations and financial condition and result in product recalls or withdrawals.
  • Our failure to comply with trade and other regulations could lead to investigations or actions by government regulators and negative publicity.
  • Our future success depends on our key executive officers and our ability to attract, retain, and motivate qualified personnel.
  • If the technology-based systems that give our customers the ability to shop with us online do not function effectively, our operating results could be materially adversely affected.
  • Security breaches and other disruptions could compromise our information and expose us to liability, which would cause our business and reputation to suffer.
  • Organizations face growing regulatory and compliance requirements.
  • We have reported material weaknesses in internal controls.
