New minor risk - Market cap size The company's market capitalization is less than US$100m. Market cap: US$99.1m This is considered a minor risk.

New major risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 494% This is considered a major 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 Risks Debt is not well covered by operating cash flow (6.9% operating cash flow to total debt). Earnings have declined by 31% per year over the past 5 years. Shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year (494% increase in shares outstanding).

New major risk - Financial position The company's debt is not well covered by operating cash flow. Operating cash flow to total debt ratio: 6.9% This is considered a major risk.

The company has less cash from operations to cover its expenses from servicing large debt and it increases the risk of liquidity issues. It also extends the time it would take for the company to pay back the debt in full, meaning it may not be able to easily pay it all off in a distress scenario. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Debt is not well covered by operating cash flow (6.9% operating cash flow to total debt). Earnings have declined by 31% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risk Market cap is less than US$100m (US$22.6m market cap). Valuation Update With 7 Day Price Move • Aug 29
