New minor risk - Share price stability The company's share price has been volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 75% of Japanese stocks, typically moving 6.7% a week. This is considered a minor risk. Share price volatility indicates the stock is highly sensitive to market conditions or economic conditions rather than being sensitive to its own business performance, which may also be inconsistent. It also increases the risk of potential losses in the short term as the stock tends to have larger drops in price more frequently than other stocks. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Earnings have declined by 36% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risks Dividend is not well covered by cash flows (112% cash payout ratio). Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (6.7% average weekly change). Market cap is less than US$100m (JP¥10.8b market cap, or US$67.5m). New Risk • Mar 18
New minor risk - Dividend sustainability The dividend is not well covered by cash flows. Cash payout ratio: 112% Dividend yield: 2.9% This is considered a minor risk. Dividends are ultimately paid out of the company's available cash reserves. Companies that pay out too much of their cash flow are at risk of having to reduce or cut their dividend in future. If cash flow growth slows or cash flows fall, then there may not be enough cash reserves to maintain the same dividend. Or in extreme cases, companies may opt to take on debt to maintain the dividend. This risk is mitigated by the fact the dividend is covered by earnings, however, cash flows are generally more important. For dividend paying companies, any reduction in the dividend can significantly impact the share price. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Earnings have declined by 36% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risks Dividend is not well covered by cash flows (112% cash payout ratio). Market cap is less than US$100m (JP¥10.9b market cap, or US$68.2m). Reported Earnings • Feb 16

New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 39% 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 39% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risks Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (6.1% average weekly change). Market cap is less than US$100m (JP¥11.4b market cap, or US$73.1m). Upcoming Dividend • Dec 22
