Risk Change Over Time
- Natural and Human Disruptions - Risk 1Covid-19.
In December 2019, a novel coronavirus disease ("COVID-19") was reported and in January 2020, the World Health Organization ("WHO") declared it a Public Health Emergency of International Concern. On February 28, 2020, the WHO raised its assessment of the COVID-19 threat from high to very high at a global level due to the continued increase in the number of cases and affected countries, and on March 11, 2020, the WHO characterized COVID-19 as a pandemic. COVID-19 has impacted some of our customers. Our business, results and financial condition will depend on current and future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted at this time. While the Company's day-to-day operations beginning March 2020 have been impacted, we have suffered less immediate impact as most staff could work remotely during the height of the pandemic and can continue to develop our product offerings. Post-pandemic, we have adjusted our employees' schedules to allow for both remote and non-remote hours as needed. Notwithstanding, revenues relating to mobile applications in certain verticals such as dealerships and racetracks fell and resulted in forbearance or cancellations during the pandemic.

Risk Factors Full Breakdown - Total Risks 46
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1The market for our common stock could be volatile and could decline when you want to sell your holdings.
Our common stock trades on the OTCQB under the symbol SRCO. Numerous factors, many of which are beyond our control, may cause the market price of our common stock to fluctuate significantly. These factors include but are not limited to: (i) actual or anticipated changes in our earnings, fluctuations in our operating results or our failure to meet the expectations of financial market analysts and investor; (ii) changes in financial estimates by us or by any securities analysts who might cover our stock; (iii) speculation about our business in the press or the investment community; (iv) stock market price and volume fluctuations of other publicly traded companies and, in particular, those that are in our industry; (v) our potential inability to pay back outstanding notes or debentures, or contractual obligations related to the cancellation thereof; (vi) investor perceptions of our respective industries in general and our company in particular; (vii) the operating and stock performance of comparable companies; (viii) general economic conditions and trends; (ix) major catastrophic events; (x) announcements by us or our competitors of new products, significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships or divestitures; (xi) changes in accounting standards, policies, guidance, interpretation or principles; (xii) sales of our common stock, including sales by our directors, officers or significant stockholders; and (xiii) additions or departures of key personnel. Moreover, securities markets may from time-to-time experience significant price and volume fluctuations for reasons unrelated to operating performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may adversely affect the price of our common stock and other interests in our company at a time when you want to sell your interest in us.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 2Our common stock will be subject to the "penny stock" rules of the SEC, which may make it more difficult for stockholders to sell our common stock.
The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which establishes the definition of a "penny stock," for the purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require (i) that a broker or dealer approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks; and (ii) the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased. In order to approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must (i) obtain financial information and investment experience objectives of the person; and (ii) make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks. The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prescribed by the Commission relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form (i) sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination; and (ii) that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction. Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading and about the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks. The regulations applicable to penny stocks may severely affect the market liquidity for our common stock and could limit an investor's ability to sell our common stock in the secondary market.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 3We are subject to variable conversion prices and adjustments related to certain of our convertible notes and our common stock purchase warrants which could cause significant dilution to stockholders and adversely impact the price of our common stock.
Certain of our securities are subject to variable conversion prices and adjustments. As a result, future conversion of debt into shares of common stock or issuance of new convertible debt may result in significant dilution to our shareholders. There were approximately 42 million potential shares at April 30, 2026. The number of potential shares will likely vary based on fluctuations in the trading price of our stock. We are negotiating potential settlements of debt to reduce the number of potential shares. (SEE ITEM # 3 LEGAL PROCEEDINGS).
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 4Future sales of our equity securities could result in downward selling pressure on our securities, and may adversely affect the stock price.
In the event that our equity securities are sold or convertible debt is converted into equity securities, there is a risk of downward pressure may result, making it difficult for an investor to sell his or her securities at any reasonable price, if at all. Future sales of substantial amounts of our equity securities in the public market, or the perception that such sales could occur, could put downward selling pressure on our securities, and adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 5We have authorized several classes of preferred stock that may alter the rights of common stockholders by giving preferred stockholders greater dividend rights, liquidation rights and voting rights than our common stockholders have.
Our board is empowered to issue, without stockholder approval, preferred stock, on one or more series, with dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting or other rights that could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of common stock. From time to time, we have designated, and may in the future designate, series of preferred stock carrying various preferences and rights different from, and greater than, our common stock. As of April 30, 2026, we have three series of preferred stock outstanding. Preferred stock could be utilized, under certain circumstances, as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control of the company.
