New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 4.4% per year for the foreseeable future. This is considered a major risk. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. If profits are expected to decline, then in most cases the share price will decline over time as well. In addition, if the company pays dividends it will also likely need to reduce or cut them, striking a dual blow to total shareholder returns. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 4.4% per year for the foreseeable future. Minor Risks Currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable over next 2 years (CA$15m net loss in 2 years). Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (8.7% increase in shares outstanding). Reported Earnings • Feb 23

New minor risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 8.7% This is considered a minor risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 7.6% per year for the foreseeable future. Minor Risks Currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable next year (CA$14m net loss next year). Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (8.7% increase in shares outstanding).
