New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 37% per year over the past 5 years. 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 declining over an extended period, then in most cases the share price will decline over time unless the company can turn around its fortunes. A trend of falling earnings can be very difficult to turn around. If the company is well already established it may also be a sign the company has matured and is in decline. 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 have declined by 37% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risks Currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable next year (CA$7.6m net loss next year). Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (24% increase in shares outstanding).

good natured Products Inc. Announces Canada's First Compostable & Microwavable Plant-Based Packaging to Address Proposed Ban on Single-Use Take Out Containers good natured Products Inc. to launch Canada's first innovative assortment of compostable Microwavable To Go Containers as a viable alternative for businesses faced with the impending single-use plastic ban in Canada. The Canadian Federal government has announced plans to regulate and/or ban certain single-use plastic items starting in December 2021, including a proposed ban on foodservice ware made from "problematic plastic that is hard to recycle", such as black take-out containers used frequently by restaurants and grocers. The proposed ban also recognizes "innovative technologies to improve the environmental outcomes of some single-use products. For example, the use of compostable, bio-based, or biodegradable plastics. Minimizing waste and environmental impact is top of mind for both consumers and organizations, yet at the same time the widespread effect of COVID-19 has led to higher requirements to protect food in grocery stores and increased demand for take-out from restaurants due to rolling restrictions on in-restaurant dining. This, in combination with growing government and corporate mandates, is driving demand for innovative packaging solutions that do less harm to the planet and human health. Packaging made from renewable materials that can be commercially composted at the end of its useful life is considered a viable option to create a closed loop, zero-waste solution. This is especially true in foodservices applications, where traces of food and oils on packaging can make them problematic for easy recycling, regardless of the material they're made from. Compounding the recylability issue, some traditional petroleum-based plastics have been found to contain chemicals of concern, like BPAs and phthalates, which pose the risk of leaching when heated. Heat resistant plant-based options with no chemicals of concern were not previously viable due to high price points. In an environment where restaurants are fighting to survive, absorbing substantially higher costs in operations is simply not an option. Working with its recently acquired in-house manufacturing facilities, Shepherd and IPF, along with company team members across engineering, packaging and product development, the company announced it will be presenting its new and innovative Microwavable To Go Containers at the Grocery and Specialty Foods West virtual tradeshow. These containers are designed to be compostable, are made from 97% plant-based materials and contain no chemicals of concern that are potentially harmful to human health and the environment. With leak resistance and durability in line with traditional plastic options, good natured® Microwavable To Go Containers are suitable for hot foods and microwave re-heating. This is one of the first available hot food packaging options on the market that combines the zero-waste benefits of commercial composting with affordable price points, and has Canadian innovation written all over it. The Company is launching the most popular 16, 24 and 32 oz formats in a variety of trending 2021 colours with interchangeable leak-resistant lids – a crystal clear lid for grocers to maximize product visualization and a translucent lid suitable for microwave heating, which is particularly appealing for restaurant and take-out applications.
