New Risk • Feb 18
New major risk - Earnings quality The company has a high level of non-cash earnings. Accrual ratio: 33% This is considered a major risk. Non-cash earnings can arise from many different things. However, if a company consistently has a high level of non-cash earnings, it may be a sign that they are recognizing revenue from customers before the full value of the sales are received as cash or they are not depreciating the value of their assets appropriately. These are practices that inflate earnings, while not providing a similar increase to cash flows. Companies in some select industries naturally have a high level of non-cash earnings and it is not a major concern. However, in the worst case scenario it can be an early sign of performance manipulation by management. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk High level of non-cash earnings (33% accrual ratio). Minor Risks Paying a dividend despite having no free cash flows. Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (6.6% average weekly change). Profit margins are more than 30% lower than last year (4.1% net profit margin). Market cap is less than US$100m (JP¥7.41b market cap, or US$48.4m). New Risk • Feb 16

Net profit margin: 4.1% Last year net profit margin: 5.9% This is considered a minor risk. A large drop in profit margin could indicate the company does not have strong competitive advantages or it is yet to establish itself and its core business. Even if it is a well established business, this may make it a much riskier investment than one that has a combination of proven competitive advantages and a stable or growing profit margin. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Minor Risks Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (5.6% average weekly change). Large one-off items impacting financial results. Profit margins are more than 30% lower than last year (4.1% net profit margin). Market cap is less than US$100m (JP¥8.70b market cap, or US$57.0m).
